Exotic Grotto Pool Villa

A luxury escape in the heart of the Riviera Maya

Designed to host up to 10 guests, Exotic Grotto Pool Villa is more than a vacation rental — it's a sanctuary where comfort, beauty, and Caribbean charm blend seamlessly.

The Space

Step into a private world where Mexican architecture meets coastal luxury. The villa spans two levels, filled with warm earth tones, handcrafted Talavera tile details, and authentic clay floors. From the rooftop terrace, soak in panoramic ocean views, or retreat to the unique grotto-style pool complete with cascading waterfalls and a swim-up bar — a tropical haven built for unforgettable moments.

Just one block from your peaceful beach access, you will discover the best of Playacar: 24-hour security, lush walking and biking paths, ancient Mayan ruins, a charming aviary, golf, and boutique shopping. Explore further with a snorkeling trip to Cozumel, deep-sea fishing in Puerto Aventuras, or day trips to Tulum, Xcaret, and Xel-Há. Adventure and relaxation are always within reach.

Morning in the water

Morning in the water

Four bedrooms and four and a half baths leave room for a family or a group that actually wants to stay in. The garden holds a grotto pool: still water against rock, with shade when the sun is high. Evenings tend to end at the edge of that water.

A short walk to the sand

A short walk to the sand

A gated path leads toward the sand. Fifth Avenue is close enough for dinner and far enough that the street in front of the house stays quiet.

Right outside the living room

Right outside the living room

Right outside the living room is a beautiful lounge, perfect for late-night conversation or for shaded hours when you want to sit still.

Prepare your own drinks while you hang out in your private grotto pool.
